Otis Ray Redding, Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout. Considered one of the major figures in soul music and rhythm and blues, and one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, his singing style influenced other soul artists of the 1960s, and he helped to craft the short-living and powerful style of R&B that formed the basis of the Stax Sound.

My baby wrote me a ten-page letter
She said I'll be coming home, boy, and I hope for the better
And you know that your mind it changes something like the weather
And I'll be coming home, boy, and I hope for the better
This is what she said
Dark clouds hanging over your head
Lightning and thunder
For every drop of rain that falls
I know you want to see your mama
I said, baby, I got to get myself together
Cause you know my mind it changes something like the weather
And I'm going to be coming home, boy, and I hope for the better
This is what she said
It's raining and there is snow on the side
You got another woman by your side
You got to stop playing them tricks
You got to get that woman out there quick
Dark clouds hanging over your head
Lighting and thunder
For every drop of rain that falls
I know you want to see your mama
I said, baby, I got to get myself together
I said you know that my mind it changes something like the weather
This is what she said
I'll be coming home, boy, I hope for the better
This is what she said
I'm coming homeâ?¦
